Our Mission
Respect for diversity is a fundamental value of Stony Brook University and the University Libraries, and is identified among the core values of our strategic growth. Working in parallel with the Office of the SBU’s Chief Diversity Officer, the University Libraries’ Committee on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility will strive to:
- build, preserve, and provide access to rich and diverse collections
- recommend policies and projects that embed diversity and inclusion into the Libraries' services and work environments
- envision events that build cultural awareness and provide the tools needed to strengthen work relationships and build a supportive SBU community
- increase awareness and sensitivity among library staff
- develop responsive library spaces for diverse user communities
